1 | Baptism-What Does the Bible Teach? | Acts 2:38 | srbaegon | 133455 | ||
Hello Rowdy, "You might notice that here Paul is baptized in a hurry (like the Phillipian jailer) as he does so before he eats a meal after 3 days of fasting. If baptism wasn't required for salvation, don't you think he could have waited?" There is a problem with your assumption. The text simply does not say when Paul believed--whether at Jesus' appearance, during the 3-day fast, or upon Ananias' arrival. I could make a case that he believed before Ananias arrived. Steve |

2 | Baptism-What Does the Bible Teach? | Acts 2:38 | Rowdy | 133461 | ||
I guess you're right, it's NOT particularly clear as to when he believed but I don't see your point. Surely, you're NOT saying that there's a great amount of importance to the timing of our belief in Christ. You might notice the scriptures don't say Paul actually repented or confessed the Name of Jesus Christ as His Lord and Savior but he surely does preach that simple Gospel message in his ministry. So please help me out. What's the real point of your post here? Again, I'll agree the timing of one's belief seems like it should take place before repentance, otherwise why should a person repent? But a person could argue about timing or the sequence of the Steps of Salvation all day. What are you trying to say? God bless. Rowdy |

Hello Rowdy, The point of my post was to show that your emphasis on the immediacy of baptism was unfounded. Steve |
